SB 2578 establishes new requirements for Medicaid contracting with nursing facilities. It mandates that contracts must align with federal Medicare certification standards, ensures uninterrupted Medicaid payments when ownership of a facility changes (if certain conditions are met), and streamlines the licensure and contracting process. It also requires that vendor payments be made within 30 days of contract approval and that managed care organizations expedite credentialing for nursing facilities.
